Hi,

A friend has a new Win7 machine and can't get Hoversnap v08 running.
She downloaded the zip file, ran it, with gives

Readme.txt
HoverSnap.exe
HoverKHook.dll

Then when she launches the .exe, she gets a messages saying that
HooverKHook.dll cannot be found.

Anyone ideas? Is this program compatible with Win7, both 32- and
64-bit?


Sounds like she is trying to run it from within the ZIP. When you do
that it unpacks the file being run (only that file) a temp location.
Try unpacking all the files into to a single folder and run it form
there. It should then see it's DLL right next to it.


We put the .zip in:

Downloads\hoversnap and unpacked it in the hoversnap folder, which gave
the
three files mentioned, in the hoversnap folder. Then she double clicked
HoverSnap.exe. Do you think this still be incorrect? I won't be at her
machine until Monday to try anything differently.


Nope, that sounds right and exactly what I was describing.

Does Win7 have it's own screen grabbing tool, like SnipIt? I believe
she's
running Win7 Pro, 64-bit.


Yes. Hit the START Orb and type "snipping tool" (without the quotes).
Before you are done typing it you will see it listed in the pick list above.
